Tim Drake and Lucius Fox create a mask that allows Dick to sneak in by giving him a mask that lets him impersonate William Rhodes. I am a Batman fan - having enjoyed the Nolan films and the Arkham games in particular - but never feeling particularly satisfied with the comics. Another way of thinking about it (as I've begun to) is that Batman is what happens when horror is mixed with hope. In short, on a subconscious level, they are disenfranchising a group of individuals for their reading choices.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that all these things didn't put me off in the slightest because there was always enough information to keep newbies like me filled in just enough. Bruce (at least in the movies and TV episodes I've seen) has been dark and brooding whereas Dick is more optimistic. We get a fantastic scene where he has lunch with his father and tells him about his diagnosis as a psychopath. James Gordon Junior also tells Dick he knew he was Batman when he saw Batman smiling in television due to Bruce Wayne not smiling. The younger James is popularly suspected of being a criminal, and Barbara "Still Oracle" Gordon suspected him of even being a serial killer, although there was never any proof.His normality is what's so disarming, and the artwork by Francesco Francavilla who draws/paints this storyline adds to the creepiness.

But what really sold the story for me was the fact that it was focused on how the characters viewed Gotham City as being a place full of corruption and how it affected them.

I can't even think of another comic book villain that actually scared me but James was scary because he was so real, so plausible. Anyone who does not like reading about serial killers or disturbing psychological issues might be a bit disturbed with this story. I really liked to see Dick Grayson as Batman, he is so different than Bruce, and yet he is so great at it with his own way of doing things.

Tips on parenting you can't find in a parenting book: Commissioner, if you want to scare your eight year old son straight, the best place to put him might not be in Arkham Asylum next to the Joker. The shift in art styles, and the shifting tones that accompany those shifts, even work out, as in essence each artist is given a different plot thread to illustrate, and the sub-plot of the Gordon family psychodrama eventually comes to the fore, as Francavilla's art eventually becomes the dominant art in the book. Tiger Shark was able to get away with murdering her friend because Sonia tricked Batman into eliminating her other enemies first. Dick Grayson is meant to be the main character here but aside from stories about the circus, there is no development for him. Also, this story has many gory scenes of characters getting cut up and killed that some readers might find a bit uncomfortable to read through.However, the story isn’t perfect, while it was good to see how much elements from the past of everyone was resurfacing, I think that if the storyline would have focused on the main element which makes the climax of it, the whole storyline may be shorter but more solid. Sonia Branch declined, which angered the new criminals (Tiger Shark) to the point where they killed her worker. Commissioner Gordon then captures James Gordon Junior before he can escape, and meets up with Dick to talk about the recent events and what they can hope for the future. James Gordon manages to deduce the Peter Pan killer as Roy Blount because Roy had met the children because of his cleaning business and has burns on his arm and neck. James runs outside to escape, but his father shoots him in the legs and then stops him from jumping off a bridge.
